The lament of Mr. Taylor for his wife and daughter who were cruelly poisoned by the daughter's husband Dr. Pritchard : who is now lying under sentence of death in the prison of Glasgow, to be executed on the 28th of July, 1865.
[Glasgow? : s.n.,
1865]
The lament of Mr. Taylor for his wife and daughter - first lines read: As I was walking one evening of late, / A reverend old man I chanced for to meet ; / His name was Michael Taylor I must let you know, / But his fate was overshadowed with great grief and woe.
The bonnie lassie's answer - first lines read: Farewell to Glasgow, / Likewise to Lanarkshire, / And farewell my dearest parents, / For I'll never see you mair; / For the want of pocket money, / And for the want of cash, / Makes mony a bonny laddie, / to leave his bonny lass.
Two ballads.
Pritchard's was the last public execution in Glasgow.
In two columns with an illustration above the second.
